This is a picture of my brain (actual size)
I used it in an article about the urban myth, that we only use 10% of our brains
Scans of the brain show that, in fact, thereare no parts of the brain that are inactive or unusedand detailed probing of the brain has failed toidentify the ‘non-functioning’ 90%

My daughter's swim team is called Walthamstow Tritons
We have had a redesign, to make the kids swim faster
For those of you that think a Triton is an electric shower

Triton (mythology)

Triton (Greek: Τρίτων, gen: Τρίτωνος) is a mythological Greek god, the messenger of the sea. He is the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the sea respectively, and is herald for his father. He is usually represented as a merman, having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish, "sea-hued", according to Ovid[1] "his shoulders barnacled with sea-shells".

Like his father, Poseidon, he carried a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was such a cacophony, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a dark wild beast

The Corporate Treasurer Magazine commissioned six double page Illustrations from me, here are a couple that were to run into each other over four pages. It was a pretty free brief, which was enjoyable.CheersCam

This Illo' was for Haymarket Publishing HK, they wanted a pic' to run with a story about a huge Tech convention in Las Vegas, The headline will run across most of the illustration, so the colours had to be keep minimal.CheersCam Law

ThisIllustration (it actually came out last month) was for an article on Japanese Income-distribution fund products, titled "Eating Their Own". I was given the idea of a snake eating it's tail, I thought it would be nice to try and make it look a bit like a japanese wood cut print. Think it works Ok.CheersCam.

I've design two exclusive gift box wrappers for HK chocolatier chocoyou. One is for Chinese New Year (Feb 10) in red & gold, celebrating the Year of the Snake, the other for Valentine's Day with red and white flowers. Enjoy!
